Congratulations, Dude! You've more than earned it!

Have them open the Kimono. Then you know where to start from. Oh, and congratulations on even the interest.

Thanks, all. Still more of a pipe dream than anything else but this week should be the tell if this is all going to materialize.

Well...

It's happening... kinda.

I have a meeting with the director today and the producers tomorrow. I now also know exactly who the producers are and having seen their credits and IMDb I feel there is no reason this shouldn't happen.

I guess it all comes down to the meetings over the next few days and if they think I'm right for the projects. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous as hell, but I'm hopping I can put that all aside and put my best foot forward.

You've got no reason to be nervous, Dude. Be confident. You're the right person for the job.

Thanks, mate. Appreciate it.

Yep, you'll be fine, Warren.

Half the battle in life is faking it till you make it.
You've got the skills, just fake the bravado if you need to, which I doubt you need to do anyway.  

Thanks, Libby

Awesome to hear. As far as nerves.. just be yourself and honest. Interview them, rather than the other way around. You want to know, imo, if this opportunity is a right fit FOR YOU and what they're looking for. Especially in terms of the tone, structure of the scripts. Then watch Adaptation by Charlie Kaufman.

Lol

Meeting with the director done!

Super nice guy, extremely passionate and it feels like if it was up to him I'd be writing right now... unfortunately that's up to the producers who's meeting has been pushed till next Tuesday.

Whatever happens I can say with certainty that these guys are the real deal; they have the means, the know how, and the funds to make this happen. They own there own production company with several features in the bag, their latest being an award winner. They also have tangible links to a major streaming service.

I'm confident this will happen, the question is whether I'll be the one doing the writing.

Could barely sleep last night after the meeting, my heart and thoughts were racing, it was exhilarating.

Is there any way to prep for the meeting? Lol.

As everyone has reiterated, believe in yourself (even when in doubt), and whatever happens, don’t let this get you down since there’s plenty of other opportunities out there.

Good luck.

Meeting with the director and producers done!

All super nice guys. Was a great experience and also quite strange at the same time. I watched three of their feature films over the weekend and one of the producers acts in all three so I almost felt like I knew him.

One of the films semi-recently won the SAFTA award for best film (think South African BAFTAS), so the highest honour.

There is a long and pretty uncertain road ahead, but things look positive.

I won't have much more to say about it for a while but things are happening in the background. I also won't have the time to contribute any writing to SS for quite a while but I'll always be stalking away, as I do.

Lots of work ahead...

Sounds exciting! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
